Integrate ACS video call in React Native iOS

Question

I am trying to integrate https://github.com/Azure-Samples/communication-services-ui-library-react-native/tree/main in iOS React Native in a fresh app created by RN community cli v15.0. The demo app runs, but I am unable to integrate it with my app. My actual app also is based on community-cli v15.0.

I am getting version related errors in xcode.

My sample repo is https://github.com/bbairwa/videosample. I have added all the dependencies used in my actual project in this sample.

Answer 1

Most Azure Communication Services (ACS) libraries require iOS 13+ or 14+. By default, a fresh React Native project sometimes sets platform :ios, '11.0' (or similar) in the ios/Podfile. That causes version conflicts when installing pods. To fix this:

1. Open your ios/Podfile.
2. Make sure the platform line at the top is at least iOS 13 or 14. For example:

platform :ios, '14.0'

Answer 2

In the same Podfile, ensure you have a post_install block that sets the deployment target for all pods (especially helpful if some pods still claim a lower iOS deployment target):

post_install do |installer|
  react_native_post_install(installer)  # <= This is the RN autolinking step
  
  installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
    target.build_configurations.each do |config|
      # Force the deployment target to 14.0
      config.build_settings['IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET'] = '14.0'
    end
  end
endp
 Â
  installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
    target.build_configurations.each do |config|
      # Force the deployment target to 14.0
      config.build_settings['IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET'] = '14.0'
    end
  end
end
end

Run the code below ,

Open the generated <YourApp>.xcworkspace in Xcode, confirm your project’s iOS Deployment Target is also set to 14.0 in the “Build Settings”.

If the pod install fails or you still see version errors, remove the Pods folder and Podfile.lock, then run pod install again to ensure a clean state.

cd ios
pod repo update
pod install
